Simple, elegant and the extra big egg sets the ad apart.

Well photographed too. Nice job.

As a guitarist I find this image appealing. It's simple, earthy and uses my favorite color to nice effect.

This is a great photo. I am assuming that the red stripes in ths shirt, the incredible blue eyes on the model and the simple white background were all used to accentuate the pepsi logo.

One criticism. I hate saying this becasue the model is very attractive. Great skin, great facial features and her eyes are exceptional.

But...her lips are a major distraction. I know..I know. Jerk, numbnuts, etc, etc but I was trying to place my finger on why I was holding back on giving this photo extremely high marks.

It had all the elements. But her lips need to be absolutely perfect in color and shape because, well...you know darn well why ;-)

The lip color is more raspberry than cherry/stop sign red and her lip shape is just not appealing enough to stand out on its own. They need to be fuller and stand out more. Seeing as how she is sucking on a straw (very sexy) this leads you right up to her lips and when you do that you need perfection there or it throws your concentration off.

This is the major danger of using humans that are not professional models. They not only bring their beauty to an ad..they become the ad and very few humans are good enough for that. Thats why the super models get the big bucks. I know..your budget didn't allow for Elle this time around but I am just trying to say how powerful the human image is, even in a DP Challenge contest. I did not even use my wifes image, as pretty as she is, in my little ad because I knew exactly what I needed (in eye color/shape/drama/size, etc).

Don't mean to go on and on and bore you but I see this as one of the photos that is one of the better ones and has the potential to be the best one.

BTW, if that is your sister/neighbor/friend/wife you can still tell her she is still fine enough to stop traffic and I might buy a Pepsi or three :-)

This is some funny stuff.

I usually am pretty harsh on funny ads because they often go for the funny over the advertising message but this one is right on. One of my three favorite photos.

An Eye For Detail

O.K....the background on this photo and stuff is a lot more interesting than the photo. And if any of you have ever worked in advertising you know this is more the rule than the exception
:-)

I have a female friend in Baltimore who runs a strip club. The strip club owners face is in the bottle. Her eyes are stunning and I took a photo of her, pasted it to the back of the bottle and really hard lit the side of the bottle to get the photo to be clear enough. I used the tie to obscure the eye a bit with reflections and curves that followed the face in the bottle...an old trick.

The "ear" rings are actually nipple rings, and the black background is a a velvet mini-dress used by one of the "working" girls..

The aftershave was a gift from about 10 years ago ( I don't even wear aftershave ) and I had to put some water in it becasue it was so old the fragrance has started to evaporate. If you look real careful you can see the water and the alcohol fighting each other to mix.

When I worked in the graphics art department at Va Tech we used to hide all kinds of stuff in ad's. I was actually surprised no one else did any "sublimanal" stuff because subliminal messages are in so many national ad's.

Great location, I would have loved to see a shot of these falls from a much closer perspective looking up. I can see the potential here and like the composition.

great subject but the uninteresting angle kills the picture plust the grass in the foreground is distracting. To bad because a shot at the base of this looking up at an interesting angle would have brought this photo up much higher.

great macro and I like the little bit of lens flare. One of my top ten
